f the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.
Never try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do
not pass close to moving parts of the
engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running.
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.

Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-
i
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys,
-

i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Never try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have it
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop, who will check that
the internal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not cracked,
which could cause a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-acid batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to use only a 12 V charger, to avoid
causing irreversible damage to the
electrical components related to the
Stop & Start system. Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
F

S
witch off the ignition.
F

S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, ...).
F

S
witch off the charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
F

E
nsure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
F

R
aise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has
one, on the (+) terminal.
F

C
onnect the charger B cables as follows:
-

t
he positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal of the battery A ,
-

t
he negative (-) black cable to the earth
point C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A .

Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp B.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
F Position the open clamp B of the cable on
the positive post (+) of the battery.
F

P
ress down on the clamp to position it
correctly on the battery post.
F

L
ock the clamp by lowering the lever A .
Do not force the lever as locking will
not be possible if the clamp is not
positioned correctly; start the procedure
again.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition
before disconnecting the battery:
F

c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof),
F

s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, ...),
F

s
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
Having exposed the battery, it is only
necessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.
Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise or reset certain
systems, such as:
-

t
he remote control,
-

t
he date and time,
-

t
he radio preset stations.
Quick release terminal
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the ambient
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).

System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to retain a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for
a maximum combined duration of about
thirty


minutes.
Electrical energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode
Once this time has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the
vehicle has switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this time, it
will be maintained for around 10 minutes with
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio
system.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.
F
T
o restore these functions immediately,
start the engine and let it run for at least
five minutes.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting (refer to the corresponding
section).
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals are
correctly tightened (versions without quick release
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by
the fixed illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burnt" smell, which
is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
When carrying out any operation on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
starting work.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary
.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.

01 First steps
For safety reasons, the driver must only carry out
operations which require prolonged attention while the
vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is switched off and to prevent
discharging of the battery, the audio system may switch
off after a few minutes.
